Could have been great!

Love the works of both these profound teachers. I ended up quitting the program after participating for a year and it was the DEIA that was really the thorn to this program for me. Everything else was great, the lessons, the group I was in. The DEIA which I was not aware was part of the program in the beginning felt forced and unnecessary. I was really disappointed and upset that this was not only a part of the program but a requirement. It just didn’t fit in my opinion and I was shocked that it was here as a part of the curriculum. Well I had had enough of forcing myself to watch the DEIA videos and decided this program is not a good fit. Even though I spent 4k on the program, it was not worth the rest of my time. Also, you can learn so much that is in the program for free by watching Tara’s and Jacks YouTube videos and study from there. Without the DEIA I think it would have been a home run. If only I had caught the program a few versions earlier.

Profound, intimate, warmhearted, rigorous, transformational and inclusive program with many touches of lightness

The MMTCP program was all of the above. I never expected it would exceed all of my expectations.

The program is very well designed and sets each participant up for an intense learning experience.

All of the elements did their job. The small peer group (we still meet up), the guidance of a seasoned mentor, the structure of the classes, the literature, the practices that we did with and for each other, the countless very respectful feedback moments full of juicy learning, the practicums, the 6 month DEIA curriculum and of course all of the classes by Jack & Tara and the numerous guest lecturers. Come to cultivate the essence of life and bring it to the world: love, kindness and compassion.

If you consider joining the program: make room for it in your life. You won’t regret it. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! Or maybe better: unbuckle and bring your full self!

An unforgettable experience!

Love, Louise Kemps

Basic Meditation

The materials were good, but the teachings were much more basic than I expected. This program is designed for those who are going to teach beginners. The cost of the program didn’t provide the value that was implied in the course description.

MMTCP Cohort 2023

I thought the MMTCProgram was simply marvelous! I found it so wondrous to be in a global school with like-minded and like-spirited beings. It has truly changed my life and I continue to to grow with the lessons I learned and in my journey to share with others. I appreciated seeing its imperfections and how they were navigated with such kind awareness. I looked forward to the DEI component and noticed how difficult it was to meet with yet another sangha from different parts of the USA, my home country. I think I would have liked an opportunity to meet with people from my own geographical region just to have the opportunity to perhaps meet in person. My groups always ended up being with people who lived very far away from me like my mentor group turned out to be an international group with people in Europe and Asia. Although I greatly value my new-found friends, I am still trying to find some local MMTCP contacts. Overall, I found myself learning so profoundly from all the different speakers, especially our teachers, and just hope that I can carry this light to others with the same care and joy that I was given. Thank you! May you be well and at ease.
